New Nails: NARS Galion

I'm so guilty of finding a particular nail polish I LOVE *cough* Butter Yummy Mummy *cough* and wearing it for months at a time. Whether I do my nails on my own or get a manicure, I'll bring it with me time after time which always prompts my manicurist to giggle and say, "This one again?".I think I have found that new "signature" color.I am a sucker for dark nails, however, I'm not a fan of wearing totally black nails. This new NARS shade is perfect. It's a dark blue-gray, and it is lovely. When I was at the nail salon, my manicurist kept commenting on how gorgeous the color was. Then, not one, but two women in the salon checked it out as they passed and asked what it was.It's just lovely. I think I said that already. But it is. Lovely. :)

It's a shame that I couldn't get any photos to do it justice. It's appears a little lighter than this.

NARS Galion

At $17 a pop, NARS nail polishes are a bit on the pricey side. But I think this one is special enough to justify a splurge.What do you guys think? Any nail polish you are particularly loving at the moment?

My favorite is "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" by Catrice. It is a black with lots of tiny sparkles in it. It is awesome even though it is just €2,49.I am not sure if you can get it in the US though. Catrice is a European brand, I guess.

This is lovely! but $17 is out of my range+_+if not on sale. ha haI'm currently in love with nude shade polishes, I love love love Rimmel's Bare Naked (-> this one: http://cottoncandyc.blogspot.com/2011/10/nail-of-day-rimmel-lasting-finish-pro.html ) ^_^

I've been wearing Zoya's Juicy for weeks now. It's such a great berry color, perfect for fall. At first I hated it because I thought it was too bright and pink, but a few coats makes it deep but still lively. :)

Okay, so like everything else that Tiffany raves about, I ran out to my nearest Sephora and purchased the NARS Galion. When I got home and took the polish out of the box I quickly realized that I already had a very similar color, AND, not only did I have a like color, but it was in the EXACT same packaging. Matter of fact, if I were to place a piece of tape over the brand name, I would never be able to tell the difference between the two! So, if you were not able to justify that $17 price tag of the NARS Galion, you can now get the dupe for less than half the price. The color I have is made by ULTA and it is in their professional laquer line. The color is called Total Eclipse. Go to Google and type ULTA Total Eclipse and then hit the images tab so you can see pictures of the color yourself. I always love a good dupe!!
